General

IMDb.com Top of the pile but undoubtedly our favourite site is the utterly ubiquitous and almost encylopedic (almost encyclopedic - there are still plenty of gaps to fill). We also love their independent movie section.

BFI - The British Film Institute. Another amazing site that is never out of our favourite lists. Utterly definitive, informative and also releases some amazing DVDs via their own label. Their ever expanding donwload section is a real joy.

Senses Of Cinema. Another absolute favourite of ours. An online journal that includes superb sections on the great directors.

Masters Of Cinema. Classic site with a wealth of information about many directors and their works.

British Film links

Britfilms.com Massive site and one of our very favourites to concentrate on British films.

The genre reinvogorating, darkly humourous zombie drama. An independent low budget flick bound to please both die hard zombie horror fans and the wider general audiences who have made succeses of such new wave zombie inspired films like 28 Days Later and Shaun of The Dead. Check out the movie at the movie at the Awaken The Deadofficial site or its myspace page.

Possibly the finest British Horror Film site on the net. Gorgeous and visceral and all about British Horror Movies. Go there, but be prepared to stay a while.

Also you can download The Rowan Amber Mill music in CD quality at the totally ethical and rather wonderful indmill.com for next to nothing (just over £1.25 / $1.70 for their folk devils and moral panics 6 track mini album).

Our other favourite bands

Tunng our favourite clicky, beaty alt-folkists, and one of the best live bands around. Also see the Tunng myspace.

Windypops.

Get all the very latest, and choicest deep fried pop news and features from the good people at Windypops. Check out the site to read the fascinating feature on the ancient Marc Bolan chalkhill carving recently discovered in Wiltshire, also the exclusive pre-release CD review of Summers End by Floribundas - the band that is causing so much trowel-rattling in and around potting shed's and orangery's the length and breadth of this country at the moment. All this, plus the absolutely essential Popcast.The homepage iswindypops.co.uk or listen to the Popcast at their myspace site.

Misc Links

Network DVD. Possibly the finest DVD label in existence. Specialising in the release of older TV series and cult films, they have released such gems as Alan Clarke's Billy The Kid And The Green Baize Vampire, Oliver's Richard III, Budgie, Emmerdale Farm, Crown Court, One Summer, The Owl Service, Michael Bentine's Potty Time and 3 double DVD volumes of 1970s kids TV show Pipkins (our personal fave).

Web Page Designing

A book that I have used to help designing parts of my website is CSS, DHTML & AJAX - Visual Quickstart Guide by Jason Cranford Teague, published by Peachpit Press. Its a very thorough book and well worth a look for those wanting to expand their web design skills. The accompanying website is also very handy too.

Mally Welburn - A devastatingly frank and open true life story that is simply crying out for a film to be made about it. www.mallywelburn.co.uk
